This week's work shifts were moved to different days, hubby's away working, no commitments and a frozen meal all added up to a completely free day to spend in the sewing room.
Photos are lousy, too late at night to be taking decent ones.
I'm half way through quilting my nephew's very late birthday present, I put the binding on a very old UFO and I'm prepping a pattern for a knit top.
A good day!

Oh and I won a Lucky Door Prize. No pre-unpacked photo, to eager to see what was in it. I won it last week at the Nundah Cottage Craft group's Challenge Evening. Our friend, Di is a member and she asked us along to see the results of their challenge - a small lot of mixed black and white fabric, a size restriction, and participants could add more b&w and only one colour. Di won second prize with a wall hanging. Her added colour was lime green. First prize was a framed pictorial applique piece using red as the added colour. I wish it was for sale because I would have bought it on the spot. It was a Gothic style house with a bare winter tree and the red was the sky. My description does not do it justice.
The bad blogger that I am, didn't take a photo. I'll have to see if one is available.
Off to bed now, happy that I actually got something done today (craftwise that is, not the housework).

About Me

Hi! I'm the lucky wife of a wonderful man, mum of a 26 year old son and grandmother of 2 cuties. I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I dabble in a number of crafts including patchwork, crochet and embroidery. I love my garden and I even do the housework occasionally.
